New girl needs help w/ eGo-T ce4

[MsAndi]

so, my BF & i just purchased our 1st pens...we did what the manual says charge for 8hrs, we put the e juice...
now, when i vape off mine it's hard...
the taste & smoke. it irritates my throat and nose like a cigarette.
my husbands is smooth..
we have the same exact ego ce4 and using the same ejuice.
WHAT AM I DOING WRONG?

(sorry if im not using the correct words, very much a newbie)

Try a different ce4 (better get the rebuiltable ones like ce5 or EVOD heads), make sure that the wicks have a chance to wick thru. about 3 or 4 minutes after filling should do it.

Oh , WELCOME TO THE ecf!

The quality of the CE4's is questionable in my experience. Depending on the e-liquid you are using, it may not be wicking very well (absorbing the e-liquid) and you're getting some dry hits (burning the wicking material rather than vaporiziing the e-liquid) You can try changing the CE4 out for another one if you have a spare to see if there is a difference. I find the draw on the CE4's & CE6's to be very hard or stiff. I will sometimes loosen the device a bit from the battery (but still making contact) and it helps.

Pretty much like the other's said, try a different clearomizer, some are DOA.

Opps! On the harshness your nic may be too high? Don't know what you've got.

Out of curiosity, since you didn't mention, are you and your SO using the same juice? If so, take a drag on his and see if you have the same irritation. It's possible it's the liquid itself, not your clearo, if you're sensitive to PG or VG in the juice, or if the nic strength is too high.

I've got the same model (eGo-T with CE4 clearomizers).

If by hard you mean a burning taste, then it's due to the wicks not having absorbed the e-liquid well enough, one thing that seems to work for me is to flip the e-cig upside down for 2-3 seconds, then turn it around.

If you however mean that it's clogged, then I suggest you try out this tutorial on how to counter this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cXZ3W8QBIwk, it worked wonders for me.

Happy vaping.

I would agree with the other replies, it mostly likely is not wicking properly. That awful taste you are getting is a the result of a dry burn. I personally have had nothing but bad results with dry burning on the ce4's. You can try taking a few pulls on it without firing the battery, and let it sit for a while to let the silica absorb some more juice.

Personally I would look into getting a few different clearomizers to try your hand at. I have had a lot better luck with the bottom coil style clearomizers such as the evod or kangar tanks.

Yeah this seems like this would be the case and seems common for newer vapers. As a note I would also recommend like others have to check the nic content. When you're switching over it takes a little trial and error to see where to start with your nicotine content in your juice but could definitely have an effect on the harshness.

 

[ImThatGuy]

Uh...how much nicotine is in your juice???

My first ce4 did the same so I had to learn how to recoil a ce4 pretty fast

 

[StarDose]

While ce4 look good on an ego they don't have the best quality control. I switched to vision vivi nova mini and have had no issues besides one head wasn't sealed properly so I replaced it and worked perfect. Only been using mine for a few months but wouldn't go back to my ce4s.

i suggest grabbing a few evods they are awesome and should only run you about $6 each and you can replace the "heating core" "coil" "atomizer head" "heating thinga ma-jig" when they start tasting burn and the replacements are about a buck a piece and should last on average about 2 weeks. some last for a week other last for a month it really depends on what juice you use. also the wicks and coil are at the bottom so you wont get any of these wicking issues. oh and grab the 1.8 ohm heads

just my of course.
